Temperature Probes
Voltmeters commonly allow the connection of a temperature probe, allowing them to make contact measurements of surface temperatures. The probe may be a thermistor, a thermocouple, or a temperature-dependent resistor, usually made of platinum; the probe and the instrument using it must be designed to work together.

“The siren south is well enough, but New York, at the beginning of March, is a hoyden we would not care to miss—a drafty wench, her temperature up and down, full of bold promises and dust in the eye.”
